American Lucas Glover captured his first title since the 2009 US Open with victory at the Wells Fargo Championship on Monday.
Glover fired a three-under 69 in the final round at Quail Hollow to draw level with overnight leader Jonathon Byrd (72) at 15-under, before triumphing in a playoff.
Byrd found the fairway bunker off the tee on the all-important playoff hole and then found the hazard, giving Glover the time and opportunity to two-putt for the championship, which he did without too many problems.
The pair finished one shot ahead of the fast-finishing Rory Sabbatini while day-one leader Bill Haas was a further shot adrift.
None of the Australians could get anything going to mount a challenge on the final day with Matt Jones (72) the best in a tie for 21st at eight under.
Steven Bowditch (71) was two strokes further back with John Senden (73) at five under while Mathew Goggin (69), Marc Leishman (70) and Robert Allenby (73) all finished at minus three.
Jarrod Lyle had a tough final round, shooting a 74 to finish the tournament one over the card.
The win is Glover's third on the PGA Tour and his first triumph since a breakthrough result at the 2009 US Open, with his win to earn him a spot in the WGC-Bridgestone Championship.
But the fact he was able to force a playoff was only down to an average day from Byrd, who had shot 68 or under on the three previous days before an average round of 72.
A bogey on the first hole saw his day start on a sour note and although he compiled back-to-back birdies on holes six and seven, he followed it with consecutive bogeys.
Another bogey on the 14th followed and it took birdies on the 15th and 18th holes to even force a playoff.Sabbatini almost made it a three-way playoff after a terrific round of 65 that included seven birdies.
A hat-trick of birdies from holes 14 to 16 had the South African right in contention but he just fell short of drawing level with Byrd and Glover.
Haas finished with a two-under-par 70, while Kevin Na was a shot worse off for the day and the tournament.
Zach Johnson, Bobby Gates and Pat Perez all tied for sixth at 11-under, while a group of seven players including world no.4 Phil Mickelson and Fijian Vijay Singh were tied for ninth.
World no.10 Bubba Watson finished in a tie for 48th while world no.2 Martin Kaymer had to settle for a share of 62nd.
